Rihanna sued for £700K over pap ‘attack’

Don’t mess with Rihanna, people! The Barbadian singer is being sued for £700,000 by a photographer who claims he was roughed up by her minders after taking snaps that prove she and Chris Brown are bona fide lovers.

Luis Santana claims his camera was stolen and that he was knocked to the ground by the heavies after he took a picture of the pair together through a limo window.

He filed his lawsuit against the media-shy ‘lovers’ in Florida, also complaining their men made off with his £2,000 camera containing his ‘telling snaps’ after the alleged fracas outside the Vintage Ultra Lounge in St Petersburg in May.

The photographer’s lawyer claims Santana’s images would have been worth thousands on the paparazzo market.

The 26-year-old wants compensation for his camera, the stolen picture and his personal injuries and distress.

A spokesman for the 20-year-old Umbrella star labelled the incident as ‘really unfortunate’ but added: ‘I do believe that this matter is completely blown out of proportion.’
